Die Macher

That's German. It means "the creators" or "the doers" or something. And it's the name of a German boardgame about elections and politics. Sofie, Matthias and I are playing it for the second time. Matthias won the last time, and he is already in front having won the regional elections in Bayern.
Die Macher is a complicated but brilliant game by Karl-Heinz Schmiel. It takes a while to get into, but it plays beautifully and with long strategies possible.
Sofie plays the Green Party, Mats is the Conservatives and I am PDS, the remnants of the old Communist Party in the former DDR.
